don't ask to ask, just ask

Okay, my mistake!

I was meant to research on a french speaking country, I chose Senegal and specifically Dakar. This is what I wrote:

Dakar a développé une réputation internationale pour son or, son bronze et son argent.

Pendant longtemps, Dakar était multiethnique, célébrant de nombreuses religions.

Aujourd'hui, la cuisine sénégalaise est toujours une part essentielle de la culture, avec des plats traditionnels comme la 'Thieboudienne' et le Dibi.

Le president senegalais a dit hier qu'un nouveau projet a Dakar etait en cours. Une grande pour leur pays.

Correction on very last sentence -- Should be C'est grande pour leur pays.

[snow viper]

your tenses are fine

[trim jasper]

Awesome that's a relief

[snow viper]

c'est grande pour leur pays doesn't make sense though

I was trying to say something along the lines of "It's big for the country/region"

[snow viper]

yeah, it's not idiomatic in French

you can say it's a big event or it's important

[trim jasper]

Got it. So I will change it to C'est importante pour leur pays?

Actually, C'est important pour la region sounds better if that is correct

[snow viper]

either could work, but never agreed in the feminine

after c'est adjectives always agree in the masculine

Ah! Good to know thank you
